Felipe Aros-Vera is an Associate Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at Ohio University. He holds a Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and a M.S. and B.S. on Engineering Sciences from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Felipe’s research spans the fields of Transportation Engineering, Human Trafficking, and Humanitarian Logistics. His research uses network modeling and optimization to analyze resilience of transportation and other critical infrastructure networks and design of interdiction strategies; and statistical analysis (econometric models and AI based algorithms) to identify and quantify key variables that influence the risk for human trafficking at the country, and state levels.
